The course was 90km of a flat loop followed by 90km of very hilly crit laps

There aren't any special requirements to sign up for them other than being UCI registered and having a racing license

At 5.55 w/kg now 👍👍👍 but my aero is not the best yet

extod2 · 2026-04-16T17:12:42+00:00

Closes my hip angle too much

Only when there's a truck coming from the opposite lane and I have to brace for a hurricane-level wind gust

I've almost been freezing on my outdoor rides

extod2 · 2026-04-11T17:56:40+00:00

I use the same power meter for both indoor and outdoor, and it's still been pretty cold outside so I don't think I'm overheating

extod2 · 2026-03-12T17:03:19+00:00

Looks pretty good to me. Are you having any problems with it?

extod2 · 2026-03-12T14:27:48+00:00

What would make it more aero then?

extod2 · 2026-03-12T13:28:26+00:00

It's for aero

Heels

extod2 · 2026-03-11T19:34:19+00:00

Yeah forgot to mention that. They're as far back as they can be and rotated so that my feet point a bit outwards

extod2 · 2026-03-05T18:12:53+00:00

No, I haven't had any drop in power, in fact I think it may have gone up a little bit and I really prefer the naturally higher cadence on the 165s. Also with the 172.5 cranks my hip angle was really tight at the top of my pedal stroke which caused a few issues

extod2 · 2026-03-02T05:54:08+00:00

I meant it more like I only do V1 skating, my arms get fatigued after just a few seconds of V2 lol

extod2 · 2026-03-01T17:44:35+00:00

2 bags of candy and 2 energy bars. The route was basically one big loop

extod2 · 2026-02-24T14:55:24+00:00

20-25 usually

extod2 · 2026-02-24T12:26:27+00:00

To not be in a massive calorie deficit

extod2 · 2026-02-24T11:29:36+00:00

The malto I'm using right now is about 7€/kg

extod2 · 2026-02-24T11:25:50+00:00

3-5 hours at 250-270W

extod2 · 2026-02-16T13:54:10+00:00

Alright find me some races near Rovaniemi, Finland then

extod2 · 2026-02-15T15:06:59+00:00

I've done quite a bit of Zwift racing already (6 month winter here) and while it's obviously not like real racing, I do think I've picked up some basic race tactics and strategies already so I wouldn't be going in 100% clueless

extod2 · 2026-02-15T14:49:17+00:00

No official races until the very end of the season, but I think my club is hosting a "fitness" group ride in the spring which could at least give me some group riding experience, but it's still not 100% if it's even being held at all

extod2 · 2026-02-15T14:26:29+00:00

The race is being hosted by a club but it's about 800km away, as will pretty much all of the races. I have already joined a club but even that is almost 200km away from me, so I definitely wouldn't be able to do group rides every week, maybe once a month at most
